Three things to do on Christmas in Johannesburg
If you want to do something after the big Christmas lunch, here are some fun activities you can check out.
Merry Christmas to all our listeners who are celebrating this year.
May this festive season bring you all sorts of joy, and may you all embrace the spirit of sharing, caring, and giving.
As we prepare to meet our family and friends on this special day, we thought it would be good to share some ideas on things to do in Johannesburg. You may find one of these activities worthy of checking out after lunch.
1. The Johannesburg Zoo
The Johannesburg Zoo is open on Christmas Day and is an excellent spot for the whole family.
"Get up and close to Africa’s famous Big 5 and numerous other wildlife. The zoo is also home to endangered and exotic animals from around the world, who are sure to thrill and delight visitors as they learn about them." (City Sight Seeing)
The ticket prices are R126 for adults and R74 for children and senior citizens.
2. Visit Gold Reef City
You can visit the casino and entertainment areas if you are up for a night of entertainment and themed nights. The theme park is closed on Christmas Day but the gaming arcade which includes a laser zone, the Magic Company, Ten Pin bowling, and a movie theatre boasts fun for the kids.
3. Visit a shelter or home
This will warm the hearts of those less fortunate, but most of all, you will feel fulfilled and experience the true feeling of Christmas if you decide to visit a shelter or home with some food and goodies.
There is always so much food during this time of year, so instead of letting it go to waste, why not pack it up and take it to your local shelter for others to enjoy?
It is advisable to contact the shelter or home before going through as their operating hours might be different on Christmas Day.
